TV in October 2018 - What are you watching?
- Thread starter RatskyWatsky
- Start date
I finally deleted the rest of season three unwatched off my DVR the other day. Life's too short to watch shows as boring as Preacher.
Wow. Preacher is great, IMO. Do you also hate Breaking Bad because it's slow?
It's a fantastic podcast story. Don't know if I'll bother to watch but it should be entertaining!
Lol at the idea of comparing BB and Preacher. Breaking Bad is a top 5 show of all time, I don't think I enjoyed a single moment of the 24 episodes of Preacher I watched.

Anyone doing the OT for The Romanoffs? Cornballer ?
Which show? A week before is the earliest you can go.

It was about Jesse getting the voice of God back, Hitler taking over Hell, Tulip coming back from the dead, Jesse taking on his grandma, and Herr Starr and crew setting up an all out war.
About to cancel HBO in a minute, so I'm catching up on a couple shows.
Finished the last season of Silicon Valley. The finale set up a nice direction the show could go in, but it definitely doesn't have the same spark when it first started out and was one of my favorite comedies on TV. Jared was easily the MVP of the season though.
Started up Barry as well and really enjoying it. I knew people dug it a lot and so far it's living up to the hype. Plus so has so many people from other shows I watch.

Any recommondations from previous months to catch up on? Have been out of the series game for a bit...
Just finished Sharp Objects and the Deuce. Now catching up on the bodyguard and Ballers.

Check out the ~ Recent Highlights ~ section at the top of the monthly threads!
From the last two months:
Claws - TNT
Harlots - Hulu
Forever - Amazon
Random Acts of Flyness - HBO
Snowfall - FX
The Dragon Prince - Netflix
The Miniaturist - PBS
I'd also recommend Lodge 49 and Kidding.
Ah, they finally show Satan? lol
Did they just stay in one city all season like they did last year?
More or less it was focused in one location, but they did a much better job in having them spread out and do different things. Jesse was more likeable and they leaned into the comedy more, which is one of the show's strengths.
Upcoming season will find the show hitting 100 episodes. Only show on ABC I currently watch, back next week.
Hey guys, I didn't want to make a thread and I saw this but:
Does anyone have any high quality tv show recommendations? I have Hulu, Prime, and Netflix so anything on those is a bonus. Really any genre or show, just something you loved and would recommend.

Mindhunter
And The Haunting of Hill House drops Friday, and is really, really good!
Thanks :). I haven't seen many of these. Tmw I'll look thru the list and read up on them, hopefully a few catch my eye.
Haunting of Hill House sounds interesting since it's October. No idea what it is but I'll probably def watch it lol.
In additional to these
Netflix:
Babylon Berlin
Gomorrah
Money Heist
Black Mirror
Peaky Blinders

I kind of want to check it out since I watched the first two seasons, but there's just so much to watch now. lol
I find that Preacher benefits from binge watching. I would save 3-4 episodes and then watch all at once. Easier to remember what's going on and to "be in" the world.

OMG. I have to save the episodes to watch with the lady... CAN'T WAIT!Something Incredible Happened On '9-1-1' This Week

Lodge 49 was a pleasant surprise for anyone curious. The finale was a bit uneven and strange tonally (gotta set up S2) but it was a lovely, languid little thing with some great characters.
Mr. Inbetween has been solid too; finale already tonight. 6 episodes in 3 2-ep bursts. We don't get a lot of Aussie stuff in the US so it was a nice change of pace.
God Friended Me is a pretty fun show, and I like it so far. What I've seen at least. It's doing a decent job of filling the void that Kevin Probably Saves the World left when it got cancelled. That show deserved better.
My PVR is acting up, though, so I couldn't watch part of a hockey game I recorded and couldn't watch more than the first 10 minutes of episode 2 of GFM. I'll have to watch it online.

I have, haha, forgot about a lot of those! I'm cautious about watching it, in case the crazy is only in these random moments. It's better thinking it's entirely nuts from beginning to end. But I'll definitely give it a shot soon.
It's definitely crazy but it's also fun. The characters are endearing. It's sappy melodrama, but the cast is really solid. Angela Bassett, I mean, come on. What more could anyone want?
Probably, but I hope not. I've only had it for a year or so. This is one of several I've had because of issues and old technology (country living sucks).
Two shows, as I've said, have lagged and been unwatchable, but others have been okay. I had it empty, then amassed a bunch of movies and TV shows due to class and gaming and fatigue, so I hope they're all watchable. Like the last 6 episodes of Saul.
It took me a while to get into Outcast but I was super invested by the end of season 1.
And I'm super curious about Lodge 49! Is it worth buying the season? It's a little pricey but people seem to really like it.

I don't know if I would suggest buying it before you've seen it. It's very unique and it's not for everyone.
Lodge 49 is a super casual hang out kind of show with a few mysteries, but they aren't very important. It's more about these characters and their lives, and trying to find the things that make them happy. It's super fun to watch!
There is this, though, yeah. A clip online might help, to help decide for sure.
Valid point! I'll do a little more research before I take the plunge.
The AV Club's praise for the show is really what's making me think I'd like it. That and I've really been wanting to watch something a little more relaxed and character-focused lately.

Mr Inbetween wrapped tonight on FX and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The entire cast was spot on (Damon Herriman was seriously underutilized though - he had like 5 minutes total screen time across all episodes) and the humor was great. There wasn't much else to the show besides the charming characters and humor, no real plot to speak of or anything, but that's honestly okay. It's the exact sort of show where charming characters and humor are more than enough to justify its existence.
